Red meat

6 Replies

Hi

I have just eaten a steak, most of it was cooked but some was ever so slightly pink but did not think and am now worrying I shouldn't of eaten it. Am I overreacting?

Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey, I don't think a teeny tiny bit of pink will be an issue at all, especially if the meat was nice and fresh. I eat my steak rare and had some before I found out I was pregnant, did no harm at all. It's actually what I missed most during my pregnancy!! X

I wouldn't worry. .I ate all sorts I shudnt of whilst pregnant as didnt find out till 7 weeks and it was in January so I had all of xmas where I had..alcohol..pate..sushi.. raw cake mixture..egg and soldiers. My don now 15 weeks is perfectly healthy. These babies r super tough so dw x

All I wanted to eat my first trimester was red meat LOTS of red meat. My opinion is you can eat and drink most things as long as you don't over do it. :) I am now 38 weeks and my bub is growing wonderfully and is healthy. :) best not to work yourself up xx

Last night I had some trifle & found out afterwards it had Camembert in the cream topping! Merry Christmas! :S
